    It is extremely harmful per se. Tradition is not an ethical or healthy reason to eat something. However, there is a strong correlation between certain traditional diets and human health. But not because they are traditional and that should not be used to justify or promote their practice. Such arguments are also used to rationalize absolutely needless cruelty, violence, and atrocity that even harms the practitioner.

    There’s a place for both. I’m French and I don’t like it when you take traditional dishes or items, butcher them and still call them the original name. However it’s totally fine if you want to update the recipe, make it a fusion with something else, or whatever else you fancy, but just give it a different/updated name.
